Co-FounderBanasoor Aug 2020 - Jun 2022Istanbul, TurkeyBanaSoor was launched in early 2020 as a SaaS project, born out of the increasing demand for digital consulting services in the wake of the pandemic. Developed in partnership with a diverse group of collaborators and backed by seed-level investors, the platform experienced notable success during the height of the pandemic, addressing the needs of businesses adapting to a rapidly changing digital landscape.However, as the pandemic's impact began to diminish, the B2C business model that BanaSoor initially followed reached a natural conclusion. Despite this, the project's journey has provided valuable insights and experience, and we believe that new opportunities could arise in the future through different business models. The potential for BanaSoor to evolve and adapt to new market conditions remains strong, and we are open to exploring these possibilities as they emerge. -
